New YorV July 31 A dispatch to the
Journal
and Advertiser from Paris saysi
A small sensation was caused In tho Vcno
suolan boundary tribunal today when the
president sought io limit the argument of
M Malct Provost who wns representing
tho Vcnciuclaii side M tho case His pro-
ceeding did not strike the Americans ns
particularly equitable Inasmuch as Sir
Richard Webster tho English counsel was
permitted to go to nlmost tiresome lengths
In making his address M Mnlet Provost
was engaged at tho tlmo ln telling the
history of Guiana nnd pointing out that
U10 Duthch governor of Essequlbo said In
1791 that Moerlca was the western boun
dary of Dutch territory
Prof Martens presldont of tho court
thought that M Malet Piovost might con-
dense hla aigumcnt by handling tho com
merolal historic and geographical sides
ot it all togetner
Tho request struck Chief Justice Russell
as very funny Ho leaned back In his chair
and smiled It astonished M Mulct Pro-
vost who stopped a whllo and consulted
with his colleague oPresident Benjamin
Harrlton Then ho nioao nnd observed
that hu did not claim any particular merit
In his plan but It was tho one that ho
and his associates had agreed upon and
tho one that thoy thought tho best Per-
haps his treatment of tho case was open
to criticism but he wiis doing his best
Lord Chief Justice Russell matin It clear
thnt the president had mado the request
for brevity without any suggestion from
his side of the house but ho felt the de-
mand was just although ho admitted It
was not easy for M Mnlet Prevot to wholly
ehaiigo his line of argument
Then Chief Justice Fuller who had been
somewhat Impatient or the Interruption
exclaimed that the best course for M
Malet Pievoat was to tollow his own Judg-
ment Then the president and Lord Rus
tell ncqulescd and the speaker continued
his rrgument In his own was
Ho showed that becausu residents ot tho
Dutch colonies of Essequlbo llergieo and
Surnun traded In the disputed territory
no assumption of Dutch fcoveielgnty could
have have been drawn from that fact
Thnro was 11 lively Verbal acrlmmngo be
The latter also declared thnt the word
Orinoco applied only to tho rlvar of that
name but M Malet Provost showed him
that It was frequently used lo denote the
